In the luxury rental area it is still all about the lifestyle experience with many properties being of the mixed use variety offering street level retail and dining with living above. 

Your lifestyle also has to be taken into consideration- if you have a demanding job that takes up a lot of your time, owning properties that have constant issues that require your attention isn't going to work.

Dallin, I like where your thoughts are headed but just a few words of caution with this plan.Using your rental income for your current home to pay your mortgage even if your house hacking can be detrimental if you don’t have cash reserves for that property.What I’ve seen is people using their cash flow for their lifestyle too early and then whenever there is a turnover or maintenance issue you need to come out of pocket to fix those things.I’d advise keeping that cash flow until that home can pay for all of its expenses each year including projected vacancies.

I'm a bit of a workaholic but when I started my business I wanted to build more of a lifestyle business, not sit in my office and handle employees 40hrs/week.

@Oskar Czeladko, there are multiple steps you can take to enhance the competitiveness of your offer.

In this section you are really trying to think about WHAT you enjoy doing, WHEN do you enjoy doing it, what is your lifestyle going to be when you hit that goal.

Depends on your market and preferred lifestyle but house hacking could be a great way to get the best of both worlds!
